Genitsu oversaw Iroha’s transformation after transplanting parts of Toneri’s father’s body, and Iroha’s Byakugan evolved into a Jōgan that could expose the Caged Bird Seal’s weaknesses. Iroha partially disabled the seal and returned to the Hyuga compound, where Huomen confronted him over his connection to Root.

Huomen broke into the Hyuga Clan’s Sealing Scroll with help from Orochimaru and discovered that it could control the Caged Bird Seals, then began plotting to seize power within the branch family. Meanwhile, Mui led Kusagakure’s delegation to negotiate an alliance with Konoha, where Genitsu demanded a larger share of its mission fees.

• Huomen secretly met Orochimaru, who agreed to provide instructions for breaking the Sealing Scroll in exchange for one Byakugan.

• Mui offered Minato an alliance and 5% of Kusagakure’s mission fees, but Genitsu demanded at least 20%.

Mui negotiated an alliance with Konoha, then returned to Hozuki Castle and tried to use its prisoners to awaken the Box of Bliss. When that failed, he hired Akatsuki to gather the Chakra it needed, prompting Nagato to send the mission to Kakuzu and Hiruko while secretly monitoring them.

• Minato agreed that Kusagakure would give Konoha fifteen percent of its mission rewards in exchange for protection, and Mui left Konoha after noticing Naruto's immense Chakra.

After Nagato assigned Kisame and Might Duy to investigate Hozuki Castle, they arrived to find other ninja investigating the fortress as well. Setsuna entered in secret, hoping to use the Box of Bliss to regain his youth, as Mui prepared to open it.

At Hozuki Castle, the Box of Bliss produced Gō, who called himself Indra and fused with Uchiha Setsuna, granting him a young body and powerful Sharingan. Setsuna defeated Kisame’s water technique and began awakening a Mangekyō Sharingan.

• The Sage of Six Paths sensed the Box of Bliss opening at Hozuki Castle and noticed Iroha’s unusual eye power, while Iroha arrived to investigate the box for Genitsu.

• Iroha identified himself as the Eye Organization’s Ghost and declared that he had come by Genitsu’s order to reclaim Setsuna.

Setsuna returned to Konoha with a youthful appearance and a newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan, winning the Uchiha clan’s admiration while alarming Minato and Hiashi with news of the Eye Organization and mysterious eyes that surpassed the Byakugan. After Setsuna revealed he had joined the Eye Organization and demanded greater political power for the Uchiha, Genitsu arrived at Fugaku’s home, intending to beat him down.
